At Eastern Michigan University, we expect just one thing of you: to be true to you. To explore new horizons, to learn new things, to earn every ounce of what you deserve, and to do so grounded in what's real. Here, you'll find confidence in being certain, you'll stand beside professors who believe in what they do, you'll discover what you're meant to do, create or make better, and you'll realize that everything you do is a true reflection of you. Here, we're not asking you to change, we're asking you to grow. To never trade authenticity for approval. To earn your future. And to always be undeniably true to you.

Your Eastern Michigan University journey begins here. Learn about campus visits, admissions requirements, scholarships, financial aid and how to apply.
